A Day in the Life of a River Cruise

There are easier ways to see the world than packing a suitcase every three days and dragging it across Europe.

On a river cruise, you unpack once, settle into a little luxury and let the world come to you. Vineyards, medieval towns, grand cities and whatever is around the next bend, all with excellent food, thoughtful service and people who somehow remember how you take your coffee.

It’s an elegant, wonderfully civilized way to travel. And you won’t need a vacation from your vacation.

Paris Is a Terrible Place to Be Efficient

Paris has a way of rearranging your plans. The second coffee turns into a long lunch, the walk to the museum takes an unexpected detour through the Luxembourg Gardens, and you find yourself buying a pastry you cannot pronounce from a woman who has absolutely no interest in helping you pronounce it.

You can race around Paris collecting monuments, but that rather misses the point. Some cities reward a good itinerary; Paris rewards getting distracted.

Sometimes the best journeys begin long before you pack a suitcase. With a photograph.

A place that makes you stop scrolling for just a moment and think..."Someday."

Wherever this week finds you, I hope you find a few quiet moments to dream about the next adventure.

Where would you most like to wake up in Europe?

The Douro Valley, Portugal

Vineyards climbing impossible hillsides. Tiny villages. Port wine where it was born.

Some landscapes are worth slowing down for.

Church bells somewhere in the distance.
Castles appearing around bends as though this sort of thing happens every day.

The Rhine was showing off a little today...
